Physical Modelling of Rainfall-Induced Sandy and Clay-Like Slope Failures by Martina Vivoda Prodan, Josip Peranić, Sara Pajalić, Željko Arbanas

“…Rainfall infiltration caused increase of volumetric water content, dissipation of suction in initially partially saturated materials of the small-scale slope models, resulting in a decrease in effective stresses and shear strength, which in turn led to the occurrence of movements and initiation of slope failures. …”
